LEGENDS OF TfiEES.
SUPER8TITION8 FROM ANCIENT
DAYS CONCERNING THEM.
Tho Oak, Holly, Mistletoe, Poplar,
Mulberry, FIki Hay and Hone Are
VeRctalile Growth that Are Hlch In
AsHoclutloiiH Uld'Tlme Myths.
Chrlstnias Is tho only holiday Identi
fied with certain vegetable growths
the holly, Iho mistletoe, und the Christ
inas tree. The veneration in which these
ure held goes buck to n remote an
tl(tilty. There are, however, sotno
strange mid curious legends nttachlng
toother products of the vegetable king
dom. The onk tree Is rich In associations,
having been held sacred alike by the
Hebrews, the Greeks und the Romans.
! 'pile
oak under which It Is believed
Abraham stood when the angels came
announcing the birth of Isaac was long
an object of veneration, and was puld
to be still In existence In tho time of
Constantino.
All the oaks In the grovo of Dodoua,
In Kplrtis, wero saitl to lie gifted with
prophecy. Koine of tho trees were cut
down and hewn Into timber to build
the ship Argo, One of the myths states
that .Itiplter derived his power from the
oak, and he taught men to live upon
fi.trine tin tllnv (nlrrtlt lirinnltllt utl-ntlt?
and wise, and to swear by the oak was
! a most solemn and binding form.
When returning from the infernal re
gions It Is related that Hercules wore a
wreath composed of poplar leaves. Ills
brow being damp with porsplratlon, tho
Inner side of the leaves, coming In con
tact with It, turned white, and the out
crstirfacc of the loaves turned almost
black from smoke. From this, It is
said, came the silver-leafed poplar.
From the Arabians comes it story an
to the origin of the yellow, for which
there appears to be some foundation In
the scriptures. David, after Ills mar
riage with Kathshi'ba, was one day
playing on his harp, when two angles
appeared and accused him of his great
sin. For forty days and nights David
shed tears of repentance. "From his
tears (lowed two streams, which .'tin
from tho chamber into the garden, and
from them sprang two trees, one of
which was the willow which Incessant
ly weeps ami mourns and tho other tho
frankincense tree, which sheds big
tears, each in remembrance of his re
pentance."
Tho ancients had a custom of making
presents of dried tigs and bay leaves on
tho llrst of tho year, for tho bay tree
was considered good for tho health.
There ape always to be found somo bay
loaves In the choicest packages of tigs
which come from abroad.
It was near u white mulberry tree
that the lovers Pyramus and Thlsbe
met their tragic death; and the poor
mulberry tree, being, It Is said, sprinkl
ed with their blood, forever after boro
red fruit.
The holly is said to have come by Its
red berries In a similar way. Somo of
thegods.lt Is said, wero diverting them
helves one day by shooting at Hinder,
thu god of mirth, after placing him
against the holly. I.okl, tho god of
envy, shot nt him with an arow tipped
with mistletoe. A few drops of his
blood spurted over tho holly, con
sequently thu berries are red, and the
grief of the mistletoe was so Intenso
that ever slnco her berries havo bccti
like teardrops.
Some traditions relate that the origin
al color of the rose was white, says tho
New York Times, but that ono day
when the gods were feasting Cupid
with his wing upset a bowl of nectar,
which fell In a shower upon tho earth,
dyeing all tho roses red. Another story
tells that the goddess of (lowers, upon
Hutting the dead body of her favorite
nymph, Implored tho gods to assist in
changing her Into u tlower which
should be the tnieeii of (lowers.
"in respnoso to nor reiuet, says
this legend, "Uacclius bathed tho tlower
In nectar, Aurora caused her dows to
fall thick upon It, refreshing Its roots,
while Apollo's beams shone with luvlg
orating warmth. Flora crowned Its
stem with a diadem of bloom unsur
passed for beauty, and Yertuuinus
unolnted It with perfumes from tho
Vale of Tempo."
8UN-BATH ON THE SIDEWALK.
Au Invalid I.curim Hoittetliluit About
Human CurIoi.lt-.
An Invalid who hud been In tho coun
try for her health, and was ordered to
continue tho "fresh-air cure," oven
after alio hud returned to tho city, de
scribes In tho Atlantic Monthly some
of the amusing experiences which came
to her through tho unrepressed curios
ity of tho public. She took her place
ou the sidewalk, In the euu, with ateiim
er-chulr and rugs, expecting to "live
and let live." Hut she wus destlued
to learn something nbout humau na
ture before the day ended.
I mil lu the very uet of seating my
elf, she says, when the attack begins.
Two exclteddooklng women rush up to
me. une or tiiem negius with u volley
oi questions;
"What Is the matter with her?" (I
am supposed to be tumble to speak for
myself, und my friend Is addressed.)
"What alls her J Mi, what left her
like this? la It rheumatism? if fs
rheumatism, I can tell you what to do.
You take aomo vinegar and some salt,
common salt, and you put in It aomo
lyo. Just common lye, and you apply it.
I have cured a great many people of
rheumatism with this. There Is n man
who is ti conductor on the railroad 1
cured him; and ho says If lie ever has
n twinge ngaln, he will get In a tub of
this."
Smiles and nods and the strangers
havo gone; 1 begin to realize what I am
doing. Nurse-maids who have children
out for an airing discuss me In tho
soothing tones supposed to be adapted
to Infant cars, and in the midst of my
reading I hear murmurs:
"Yes, yes, a lady out taking tho sun.
Nice sun for the lady. Will do the lady
good."
Homeless dogs and friendless 'chil
dren shelter themselves about my chair
to rest. I am of great uso to organ
grinders, acting as tho nucleus of a
quickly gathering crowd. I servo as an
Intelligence olllcc, and receive constant
Inquiries as to whero pcoplo live,
whethor I know any ono who would
like to hlro a servant, and whether I
know of sorvnutB who wish to hire.
I also had an offer of work. A negro
man addressed me: "Yiili nuts' scuso
me, lady, full spcaklu' tub yuh. I axes
yuh pnrdon, but 1 been a-looklu' full
somebody lak yuh. I wan' tub ax
whether yob would lak tub teach some
body o' cose tub bo paid somethln'
ev'vy week. It's my wife. Sho can't
read, and I want huh to lun."
Binall boys seem not to accept tho sit
uation, perhnps becuuso they are tho
frankest of mortals. I hear them
across the street, Baying: "Como on,
let's go ovor and look nt her."
Ono day I was cxatnlncd.by two, and
heard surprised voices:
"Is It a lady?" A long pause, and
then, with still great surprise, "Ye-csl"
At another time I had my arms under
my cope, and I heard from a pair of
urchins, In awestruck tones, "She ain't
got no bands!"
Ono day two llttlo fellows sat down
on tho steps by me, and ono ventured
to speak:
"Lady, what's the matter with ycr?
Can't ye wulk? Got both yer feet cut
off?" This tlmo I questioned them In
return, and upon my asking why they
were not In school, one glibly replied:
"I have to work. Got to help my
mother."
"Do you work?"
"Yes'in." he said, proudly, and hand
ed me a pnpor on which was written,
"Please help my mother to pay her
rent. God will help you. God bless
you!"
My remarks concerning thin kind of
work quickly ended tho curiosity nbout
myself,
S. R. Crockett writes to his publish.
era concerning his lntcfit novel, "The
Firebrand": "For the purposes of "Tho
Firebrand" I lived romantically among
tho ox-brlgandf), actual smugglers and
other Quo follows In the utmost Pyre
nees and Sierras of Moncayo."
The nunio of the heroine of Anne
Scarlett, Mary Imluy Taylor's latest
novel, was a pure Invention of tho
author. Yet, strnngo to say, Miss Tay
lor luiH received a letter from an actual
Anno Scarlctto living In Newark, N. J
who naturally expresses a lively inter
est In tho origin of tho title.
A book will soon bo published by
John Lauo called "Juno Austen: Her
Homes and Her Friends," by Constance
Hill. It will give a plcturo of Jnno
Austen's dally II fo In her different
homes, nnd thus make us rcallzo tho
Inllucnces thnt affected her as a writer
for wo take It for grunted thnt many
readers are Interested In Jane Austen.
Timely advice Is given In nu exchango
as to buying so-called Juvenllo books.
Hecauso a book Is labeled "Juvenllo"
It does not follow that Is a proper book
for children. Theso books should ho
examined, unless well known, for very
often they contain matter that Is not
really Intended for young rentiers. Buy
ers of such books Hhould take nothing
for granted from the titles of books In
tended for suns nnd daughters.
Every ono hears of tho "list of best
soiling books," but who ever henrd of
a list of hooka that havo never left tho
shelves! Tho Public Library of Lin
coln, England, gives the names of such
books. The, number is not large, only
115 out of the 10,raS volumes In the li
brary can boast that tho dust on them
lias never been disturbed. Not a single
novel, however stupid, can clnlm this
unenvluhlo distinction. Works of tho
ology and history lend all tho rest lu
this sleep of the unread.
Is there anything new under the sun?
Attention being called to the fact In
oue of Maurice Hewlett's "New Canter
bury Titles," that tho sex of a girl dis
guised us a boy Is discovered by throw
ing an apple In her lap; the Academy
aska Mr. Hewlett If ho is awure that
the same Incident Is used In "Huckle
berry Finn." then the New York Times
comes and says that Charles Reado
used it In "Cloister and the Hearth."
and Anally some one elso suggests that
the incident was used, long before
Charles Readc's time but this Is back
far enough for us.
